Putting into perspective how huge that bet was: According to the DMG, a skilled worker makes 2 gold/day, which means a monthly wage of 60 gold with no days off, so let's say they take 5 days off each month, making it 50 for the sake of ease. That means his initial bet was 4 months wages for a skilled, guild-certified person, as 20 platinum is 200 gold. Unskilled hirelings make 2 silver/day according to the DMG, so if they were to take the same amount of time off, it comes out to 40 months, or *3 years and 4 months worth of wages.*
@@bestofcriticalrole Have you ever gone shopping for a good sleeping bag and/or sleeping mat? $100 for either one of those is no stretch of the imagination. And goats and livestock are big investments that pay off over the long term.
@@bestofcriticalrole I also like to slightly take into account that most games are set in pre industrial era where item are not mass produced in a way that would lower the cost like they do today. so a hand made bedroll might really cost 100$.
Ahhh Matt/Dariax gambling with a D6? Gets what he needs as he rolls stupidly well... He to do a history or any kind of check with a D20 and he is lucky to get higher then a 4 XD
Statistically, keep rolling until you win or lose is the best play. With 2d6, you have a little less than 20% chance of winning on the first roll (19.44444 ... %, to be exact). Depending on your results from this roll, doubling down and adding 1d6 may be even more in your favor (if you get a total of six on your first roll as Fy'ra Rai and Dariax did, you can roll either a 1 or a 6 to win, meaning you have a 33% chance).
When he rolls the 6 first, his odds of getting a total of either a 7 or a 12 are 33 % (a 1 or 6 on a d6). These are bad odds for the house to be running. On the first roll, a 7 or a 12 will who up on 7 in 36 rolls or 19.45 %, much better for the house. Always double down on a 6, never on any other number (odds drop to 1 in 6, making them worse than just rolling again.)
@@SuperFanFiction it's just a little sarcastic joke. The biggest tabletop stream on the internet with professional (voice) actors don't have notes? Don't take it so seriously.
